We examine the language-level features needed for such applications, and describe a Java object-based mobile agent architecture that can provide system-level support for those features. Security is usually a major concern with mobile agent systems. We discuss security related issues such as authentication of mobile agents, protection of resources and privacy of communications, in the context of our architecture.en-USReport
